made their annual appearance. and
can be caught close in shore with
castnsts and seinsa.

Saw Loos-A Bio Book. Last
Friday and Saturday there was q
favorable rise in the river. and the
log men up the country took ad-
vantage Of the high water to float
their logs A boom was made
about a quarter Of q mile above the
big bridge. but it broke. and the
logs drifted down against the bridge.
We visited the scene Saturday eve
ming. and it was sight never to be
forgotten. From the bridge up the
river. % far a. the eye could reach.
was . perfect mass of sntangled
logs Hundreds Of our citizens
viewed the spectacle Saturday and
Sunday. and say they never saw
anything like il. Some 5000 logs
we're just above the bridge. and
over 10. 600 further up. Fortunate-
y tho water was not high enough.
or tho bridge would have been
swept away like chaff before the
wind. The water has been falling
since Monday. and the logmen have
been busy running the logs under
the bridge The river. above and
below the bridge. Is full Of logs
The bridge itself sustained little If
any damage. The law. however.
- passed BY the Police Jury, in
January last. fixes the penalty at
800 for booming logs against a
bridge on any public road in the
pariab. We learn there are at
least ten owners Of these logs, and
their aggregate 6ne will be $1,000
which will be sufficient 10 keep the
big bridge in repair for some years
TO come.

COLD COFFEE.

count Of . drouth 10 the spring.
Wheat 10 doing poorly. and there is
very little grass here on the range.
I am getting disheartsned. Il don't
look - though . man can make
more than he can eat here of late
years. I have 81 acres in cultiva-
ton. Twill not make corn enough
to fatten ten hogs and feed two
horses till next March. There are
IS acres in cotton on my place. I
dom. expect the whole will make
10 bales. That is poor encourage
ment for . farmer. I aaed to live
in st. Landry parish. near Opelou-
sss. That 10 . much better coun-
try than this. I would advise
everybody not to leave Louisiana
and come 10 Texas. unless It does
better than it has in the past ten
years. I am getting in the notion
Of returning to Louisiana. II /
thought there was . chance Of get
ting . good little place. or . piece
Of land in Louisiana, I would leave
Texas.
II it is not asking too much. I
want You to send me . copy OF
your paper. and give me the full
details Of your parish and its pro-
dnctions and their value; land aud
its grade aud value; tbs value OF
stock generally. What are the

We can assnre Mr.. Allison, and
all other practical farmer re-, that they
can fluid more productive land in
St. Tammany parish than in Texns
according 10 his own showing.
Corn produces 20 TO GO bushels
per acre: cotton about TOO pounds
seed; sugar cane does we'll; sweet
potatoes. about $50 bushels per
acre; WOOL brings the Lighsst prices
in the New Orleans market, ranging
this year from 2l to % cents; rice,

1t. is said the twelve antt.Csmdeu Dem.
